W14. What did I learn in this course? - Seron Kim

Through this course, I realized a lot. Before I took this course, I used 'Knowledge in' operated by Naver in Korea or search on Google if I have information that I do not know or need to find. I knew there was a site called Wikipedia, but I did not know how many people used it and how often. Wikipedia only thought it was one of the electronic encyclopedias. However, after I took this lesson, the perception of Wikipedia site completely changed.
 
First, I realized that Wikipedia is a great site. Wikipedia is a site that is used by everyone in the world, not just one country. And anyone can upload information and share information freely. Anyone can also easily edit information anywhere, anytime, if have insufficient or incorrect information. It's not just a simple electronic encyclopedia, it's something that can be constantly revised and supplemented, which I think is a great idea. It was also surprising that even within this freedom, Wikipedia has its own guideline system.
 
After this course, I came to solve problems through Wikipedia instead of 'Knowledge in' when I do not know or need information. And though I was one of my project, I wrote articles and edited the information directly on Wikipedia. Through this, I seem to have had a good opportunity to upload information about my favorite Korean soccer players to English Wikipedia while letting people from other countries know about it. I also felt proud of writing and editing my own articles.

    I think making a Korean soccer player article is a great opportunity for Wikipedia to be a great encyclopedia and to promote Korea. I want you to keep editing.

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? - Seron Kim

Wikipedia is a large site used by people all over the world. People get information through Wikipedia and edit article directly when needed. Through the action of collective intelligence, Wikipedia is becoming more and more developed and growing. Can we trust Wikipedia? I think "We can trust Wikipedia but we should not trust it unconditionally.“   Obviously Wikipedia is reliable. Wikipedia itself has an implicit framework for editing, and people follow it and use it. It is also possible to increase the trust of the article by leaving a source for the information, and to delete the edited information through a predetermined process. So there will be more and more reliable information in Wikipedia.   But you should not trust Wikipedia unconditionally. Because there may be misinformation in Wikipedia. Of course, there is a high possibility that it will be fixed through the deletion function of Wikipedia and the collective intelligence of people. But it will be a ...

W1. What do I know about Wikipedia and what do I want to learn about it? - Yong il, Seon.

We learned another idea, we want an easy explanation.          Many people used Wikipedia. Why people visited Wikipedia? I have much thought about the answer to this question. Everyone will be editor in Wikipedia. So, several people’s opinions can be confirmed on one issue. It is also an important characteristic of democracy. Democracy is the recognition of the other’s ideas. And already in France, there were ‘Tolerance’. It means that As I am right in my opinion, and so you are right in your opinion. I think Wikipedia is making ‘Tolerance idea’ work very well. So, you can not force your own ideas on Wikipedia. Depending on the situation, users may be students, teachers, or even completely different third parties. From these points of view, Wikipedia is the modern version of Greece’s Agora.            And it is not over. Always people want an easy expanation, the more complex the case. Wikipedia has a structured form...

W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them. - Seron Kim

I rarely had access to Wikipedia before this class. Because there is a service called 'Knowledge in' operated by Naver in Korea. I've been used to the 'Knowledge in' for a long time, so I've always used it if there's something I don't know. However, I got to know Wikipedia in this class. Wikipedia has a much larger volume of data than I thought, and it is being used by people all over the world. Also, anyone could edit information. I want to search and edit my favorite soccer information. So I decided to do the editing on my idols, Ko Jong-soo and Nadson.   What was interesting about editing was that although the Korean Wikipedia was detailed by the players who played in the Korean league, the English Wikipedia had little or no information. So I want to edit more. Because I want to add their information to English Wikipedia to let people around the world know.   Different countries have Wikipedia sites and the amount and quality of informati...
